The main object of this invention'is to provide a safety razor usinga" separate metallic blade as a shaving element, the razor. being constructed; of celluloid or other. cellulous product so'that the entire" safetyrazor may be separated into its component parts inorder to be hygienically"cleanedgandstored in a sanitary manner, and also packed for shipment or transit with theleast amount of bulk.

Another objectof the inventionis to provlde a shavlng device constructed of several units, all of which are adapted to be interlocked to provide a shaving implement, the interlocking feature thereon 7, providing means for retaining a metallic razor blade insecure and ready position between the required members to attain shaving rigidity for the razor blade. 7 i

The above and other objects will become apparent in the description below, in which characters of reference refer to like-named parts in the drawings. Referring briefly to the drawings, Figurel is a perspective view of the razor device C0111- pletely assembled and ready for use.

Fi ure 2 is a longitudinal sectional eleva- O tional view of the shaving device.

Figure 3 is a top plan view of one form of body plate.

Figure 4 is a top plan view of the head of the device.

Figure 5 is a perspective view of the razor blade designed for use with the shaving device.

Figure 6 1s a perspective view of amodified form of razor blade body applicable to the vrest thereon.

body 10 is ada' ted to have arazor blade' 14 ormally, these razor blades, such as indicated by the-numeral 14,-=are in perfectly flat, I condition and are slenderly curved by bein'g fitted upon the face 513.; A

longitudinal head 15 is providedfwith-a conrazor blade-contacts. The' opposing side edges17 'of the body 10 have studs 18 projectin'g 'therefrom. These studs are "semicircularf in cross-section and their peripheral surfaces are provided with helical threads 19. All of these threads form a half of a helix, andfare adapted to be complemental to the threads 20 of similar studs 21 whichproject cave surface 16 with which the'surface of the from the side'edges 22 "of the head 15 of the l a device, (and also have a peripheral surface upon which thestated threads 20 are formed.

These studs 18 and 21, whenaligned with each otherjare adapted to provide and form ast'ud, 'circularin cross-section, ateach end of'the head '15 and body 10. The flat surface at the diameter of the stud'members 18 and 21; is sliglitlyraised above the surfaces ofthe body 10 andof the head 15 so that pyramidal recesses23 and 27 are formedin the studs of a depth equal to less than one halfthe thickness'of the razor blade'14. The razor blade. l i isprovided with the usual parallel cutting edges 24 and at its sides is providedfwith triangular ears 25 and 26 which are adapted to register in the recesses 23 in the body 10, and recess device; I

The modification shown in Figure 6 is 585- 7 adapted to housed in combinationwith the same head 15of the device, and is constructed insuch manner as to replace and eliminate 27intheheadof'the shaving the'notches 11and fingers 12 of the body lO.

This modified type of bodyl28 is provided onopposingsideswith studs 29 which are constructedin the same manner as'those on the preferred type of body 10, and are also provided with' pyramidal recesses 30 formed in the studs. The entire construction of this modified body is-identical to that of'the body 'lO with the exceptionof the turndownlip 31 into which its longitudinal side edges are formed" so that the body, in contacting with the skin-'ofthe user, presents a curved, com- 28 and the head 15 are adapted to register in 5 a threaded opening 32 formed in a handle member 33, While the two complemental lugs at the opposite ends of these same equivalent members are adapted to enter into a threaded opening 34 in a thumb nut 35.

The device is adapted to retain a razor blade in the proper shaving position a'nd at the proper angle upon the skin. The device, may be completely assembled, or the parts may be detached into independent members,

and head 15. The lugs 18 and 21 Will in this j condition bealigned after which the thumb in a short interval of time. The body 10 or ears of the blade, and means engaging said studs for securing said body and head in clamped position on said razor blade.

2. In combination With a substantially rectangular razor blade having ears projecting from the short sides thereof, a device for holdfrom oneedge of said flat face to the opposite edge thereof, the'flat face of the stud on one edge of the body lying against the flat face of the stud on the, same edge of the head to form a unitary cylindrical stud 'uponassembling the device with the blade between said body and head, thefaces of said studs having recesses therein adapted to receive-said ears of the blade, andv means engaging said studs for securing said body and head in clamped position on said razo'rblade. In testimony whereof I aifix my signature.
